12 Car Stall problem of the 1998 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

This complaint is about a gps device that attaches to the car through the obdii port. Manufacturered by agnik corporation sold under the brand name vyncs. The device, when installed, has caused intermittent stalling of the vehicle at low speed such approaching a stop or idling in gear at a stop. This was realized to be caused by the device after about 1 week of experiencing intermittent stalling. When the device was removed from the car, the stalling issue dissapeared. I have retained the device for submission to the NHTSA for testing. When I brought this issue to the manufacturer attention they ceased communication with me, disabled the gps service, and closed my account, whereby I could no longer extract any historical communications from them. Additional attempts to contact them through techsupport@agnik. Com have been unanswered. Agnik does not publish an address or phone number.

13 Car Stall problem of the 2007 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 02/20/2018

My car had a recall completed on the ecm in 2011. Now in 2018 my ecm is shorting out causing my engine to shut off while I am driving. In order to start up the engine again I have to pull over, put the car in park and turn the key again. One time this happened while I was stopped. The other time this happened while I was driving. Toyota reported that because the recall had already been completed there was nothing they could do and the repair had to be completed at my expense. The only way to make my car safe to drive again is to have a new ecm installed.

17 Car Stall problem of the 2014 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 10/14/2015

I have attempted for the last 14 months to get a noise fixed when my car starts up. I have made 10 repair efforts with Toyota and Toyota corporate. I have filed lemon law on my car and Toyota has sent me letters twice stating they have reviewed my repair orders, inspected the car, and it is working as designed. While the letters are being sent to me I have open appointments to get the car repaired for this issue. I called the Toyota field rep and he stated that my case is closed because they do not know what is wrong with my car. The noise happens when starting the car after it has been sitting for at least 20 minutes. It sounds like something is broken inside the engine. On the last trip to the dealership Toyota replaced the starter on my car and it did not resolve the issue. I am very concerned that something is wrong with the engine itself in my car since the starter has been replaced. I am afraid my car is going to stall out on me while driving causing me to have an accident. I have recorded sounds of the noise occurring and I would like to submit them when I am contacted.

24 Car Stall problem of the 2004 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 04/14/2012

I was driving at 70 mph on the interstate when the car stalled out. We were able to pull to the side of the road luckily. It did start again but stalled again if I went over 40 mph. I had replaced the transmission the week before and had a transmission place check it out. They said the transmission is fine and that the error code is for the ecm. I had taken the care back to my transmission place (certified transmission in bellevue ne. ) and he had the same answer for me. I attempted to work with Toyota on this through their customer complaint dept. They referred me to nick anderson (customer care manager) at bellevue Toyota. He didn't care that the car is unsafe to drive or that it stalled on us going 70 mph on the interstate. All he cared about is that the care is over miles on the extended warranty (80,000) and he wouldn't do anything for me at all. I believe in companies that back there product and I no longer believe in Toyota. I have found out that there is a very strong chance that the reason I had to replace the transmission on this auto is because of the ecm that was misdiagnosed as transmission issues. I believe this to be true because I am having the same stalling issues that I had before the new transmission was put in. I feel that Toyota should at the very least repair/replace the faulty ecm at no additional cost to me.

25 Car Stall problem of the 2011 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 10/12/2011

I bought a used 2011 Toyota Corolla from beaver Toyota in santa fe, new mexico in September 2012. From the beginning I noticed a slight hesitation while driving. It felt like all of a sudden the car would slow down for just a couple of seconds, like a delay of some kind. I took it to the dealer and they felt nothing. It kept happening and I took it back and they drove and felt nothing. Finally, I was driving back from church in the daytime, thank god, and it just stalled like someone has just unplugged it (and its not electric) and all the engine lights came on and I made it to the emergency lane scared to death. I called aaa and they said let it sit for few minutes and try again and it started right up. He suggested I drive to a service station but it was Sunday and no one was open. I went into the dealer later that week and they didn't feel anything, no hesitation at all. I kept feeling it and my roommate drove it once thought she felt something. Took to back again and sat 5 hours while they ran diagnostics and said it showed nothing. They did replace a bolt I noticed the head had broken off on the license plate . . . Just mentioned in passing & that was $110 because the service rep said they had to drill thru the back plate to remove and put in new one! I would have never agreed to that. I looked on line and found an indpendant Toyota authorized repair shop that had great reviews and went there. Toy automan. They took me in at my appt time, one hour later the nice owner came out and handed me a release from Toyota dated September 6, 2011 that stated 2011 Corollas may exhibit a "monetary rpm decrease above 40 mph and/or reduced engine braking". I'm so tired of going into this dealer and getting nowhere. They had to know about this notice from Toyota and I must be naive realizing that a Toyota service dept. Would put a customer in danger for money. Help!.
